After unveiling their new championship banner and receiving their rings in a pregame ceremony, the Golden State Warriors still had business to handle against the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2022-23 season opener on Tuesday night.
The Warriors showed no signs of a championship hangover against the Lakers. Despite a fierce double-double with 21 points on 12-of-25 shooting from the field and 14 rebounds from LeBron James, the Warriors cruised to a 123-109 win over the Lakers.
Steph Curry fueled an impressive first impression from the Warriors with a game-high 33 points on 10-of-22 shooting from the field with four made triples, seven assists, six rebounds and four steals in 33 minutes.
Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole all added double-figure scoring performances as the Warriors secured a victory to start the season, 1-0.
With game one in the books, here are three thoughts from the notebook on Tuesday night.
